Chapter 108

The moments when our skin touched sent shivers through me.

...Not that I dislike it.

I enjoyed how Darcy expressed that I was his person in this way. Nestled in his embrace, I nodded softly.

We mounted the horses Eiren had prepared for us one by one.@@novelbin@@

Darcy and I shared a horse, while Kaisen rode another with Bella securely held in front of him.

After pulling on an extra cloak, Kaisen wrapped the cape portion around Bella, completely concealing her.

Eiren, seated atop his own horse, signaled to Bella with his eyes. Bella closed hers tightly, concentrating intensely.

It was as if she was awakening all her senses.

"Let's go that way," Bella directed from within Kaisen's arms, pointing decisively.

We exchanged resolute glances. With a unified shout and the neighing of horses, we set off.

The place where Ethan and Leshuan waited for us was a small teahouse at the village entrance.

They thought it better to wait inside rather than wander outside and draw unwanted attention.

Left to wait with Leshuan, Ethan fiddled nervously with the cup before him.

Leshan was so different from Marceau that it made Ethan even more uneasy.

It wasn't because Leshuan was a noble.

He knew that Leshuan was unaware of Marquis Ephecle's deeds and had even undergone heart transplant surgery.
